2 2 0 1 Figure 1 shows an outline of the modern periodic table. Figure 1 J, L, M, Q and R represent elements in the Periodic Table Which element has four electrons in its outer shell? Tick one. [1 mark] J L M Q R Which two elements in Figure 1 are in the same period? [1 mark] and Which element reacts with potassium to form an ionic compound? Tick one. [1 mark] J L M Q R

4 4 In the 1860s scientists were trying to organise elements. Figure 2 shows the table published by John Newlands in The elements are arranged in order of their atomic weights. Figure 2 Figure 3 shows the periodic table published by Dmitri Mendeleev in Figure 3

5 Mendeleev s table became accepted by other scientists whereas Newlands table was not. Evaluate Newlands and Mendeleev s tables. You should include: a comparison of the tables reasons why Mendeleev s table was more acceptable. Use Figure 2 and Figure 3 and your own knowledge. [6 marks] 11 Turn over

6 6 0 2 A student investigated the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass states that the mass of the products is equal to the mass of the reactants. This is the method used. 1. Pour lead nitrate solution into a beaker labelled A. 2. Pour potassium chromate solution into a beaker labelled B. 3. Measure the mass of both beakers and contents. 4. Pour the solution from beaker B into beaker A. 5. Measure the mass of both beakers and contents again. When lead nitrate solution and potassium chromate solution are mixed, a reaction takes place. This is the equation for the reaction: Pb(NO 3 ) 2 (aq) + K 2 CrO 4 (aq) PbCrO 4 (s) + 2 KNO 3 (aq) What would the student see when the reaction takes place? [1 mark]

7 Table 1 shows the student s results. Table 1 Mass in g Beaker A and contents before mixing Beaker B and contents before mixing Beaker A and contents after mixing Beaker B after mixing Show that the law of conservation of mass is true. Use the data from Table 1. [2 marks] What is the resolution of the balance used to obtain the results in Table 1? Tick one. [1 mark] 0.01 g 0.1g 1 g 100 g Question 2 continues on the next page Turn over

9 Another student also tests the law of conservation of mass using the same method. The student uses a different reaction. This is the equation for the reaction. Na 2 CO 3 (aq) + 2 HCl(aq) 2 NaCl(aq) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O(l) Explain why this student s results would not appear to support the law of conservation of mass.

10 A student makes a hypothesis: When different salt solutions are electrolysed with inert electrodes, the product at the negative electrode is always a metal Describe how you would test this hypothesis in the laboratory. You should: draw a labelled diagram of the apparatus give the independent variable describe what you would see at the negative electrode if the hypothesis is true. [5 marks] Diagram Independent variable Observation

11 The student s hypothesis is only partially correct. Explain why the product at the negative electrode is not always a metal. [2 marks] Predict the product at the positive electrode in the electrolysis of: sodium chloride solution copper sulfate solution.

12 This question is about atoms What does the number 19 represent in 9 F? [1 mark] How many atoms are present in one mole of fluorine atoms? Tick one. [1 mark] The plum pudding model of the atom was replaced by the nuclear model. The nuclear model was developed after the alpha particle scattering experiment. Compare the plum pudding model with the nuclear model of the atom. [4 marks]

14 Some students investigated the energy changes occurring in the reaction between potassium hydrogencarbonate and hydrochloric acid. The equation for the reaction is: KHCO 3 (s) + HCl(aq) KCl(aq) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O(l) This is the method used. 1. Measure 50 cm 3 hydrochloric acid into a glass beaker. 2. Measure the temperature of the hydrochloric acid. 3. Measure a given mass of potassium hydrogencarbonate. 4. Add the potassium hydrogencarbonate to the hydrochloric acid. 5. Stir until all the potassium hydrogencarbonate has reacted. 6. Record the lowest temperature reached. 7. Repeat three more times, using the same mass of potassium hydrogencarbonate. Each student used a different mass of potassium hydrogencarbonate The method described will not give very accurate results. Suggest one change to the apparatus that would improve the accuracy of the results. Give a reason for your answer. [2 marks]

24 A scientist produces zinc iodide (ZnI 2 ). This is the method used. 1. Weigh g of iodine. 2. Dissolve the iodine in ethanol. 3. Add an excess of zinc. 4. Stir the mixture until there is no further change. 5. Filter off the excess zinc. 6. Evaporate off the ethanol Ethanol is flammable. Suggest how the scientist could carry out Step 6 safely. [1 mark] Explain why the scientist adds excess zinc rather than excess iodine. [3 marks]

25 Calculate the minimum mass of zinc that needs to be added to g of iodine so that the iodine fully reacts. The equation for the reaction is: Zn + I 2 ZnI 2 Relative atomic masses (A r ): Zn = 65 I = 127 [3 marks] Minimum mass of zinc = g Question 7 continues on the next page Turn over
